Type of Activity
R = Routine Rating Likelihood (L) Description
Risk Priority Number ( RPN ) Risk Category Risk Level Action and Time Scale
NR = Non Routine 1 Inconceivable Is practically impossible and has never occurred
( RC )
2 Remote/unlikely Has not been known to occur after many years A risk identified as LOW may be considered as
Conceivable acceptable
3 Might be occur at sometimes in future
1-4 I Tolerable and further reduction may not be necessary.
4 Possible Has a good chance of occurring and is not unusual However, if the
Most likely risk can be resolved quickly and efficiently, control
5 The most likely result of the hazard/ event being relized
measures
A MEDIUM risk requires a planned approach to controlling
the hazard and applies temporary measure if required.
Severity ( S )
5 - 12 II Significant Actions taken must be documented on the risk assessment
